These are of course silly questions, because we know that it takes time to learn these skills. Meditation is no different.

When you start learning anything worthwhile, you spend a lot of time trying and re-trying things. “Failure” is not viewed as failure, it’s a part of learning. After much practice, you reach a point where you no longer have to think about each step. That’s when a whole new level of learning begins.
